Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Fire in the Dream!
Yang Zhong lay on the bed in his room and sorted out all the things that had happened since he came to the Zhao family's villa. From the beginning of purely wanting to use the resources held by Zhao Xiangyang, to now being mired in the quagmire. It was all something he couldn't have predicted, and even tonight he might have to have some stories with some of Yanjing's top family figures.
Lan Qin's current life and death are unknown, and Tang Hao's deep hatred is great. All were circling in his head, and he wanted to do it, but with his ability right now. It's so small, so small that the other person can crush him in the dust with just one little finger.
But Yang Chong is not discouraged, one year is not enough, then two years. Two years is not enough, then ten years, and in a decadent year, hatred is the only thing that can keep him alive. He even had the idea of killing himself immediately after revenge, but now this thought seems to be getting weaker and fading......
As the thoughts in his mind gradually wandered, Yang Chong's eyelids became heavier and heavier. It seems that I can hear a group of people sitting in a large room talking about the great blueprint for the future.
I can still hear a man's hearty laughter and the kind big brother, and I can still hear a woman's voice pretending to care about his injuries indifferently. It may not have been a good time at that time, but it was the most unforgettable for Yang Chong. From that group of people, Yang Chong can experience the two words that he has not seen for a long time...... Affection.
As an orphan from childhood to adulthood, Yang Chong has never felt a trace of love and soft greetings from his parents. The word family affection seemed so unattainable to him at that time, and he lived in that slightly humane orphanage before the age of fourteen. I still remember that the teachers in the orphanage were very mean and beat and scolded many children at every turn.
But there was one exception, the old dean. Yang Zhong clearly remembered that when he was beaten and his nose was swollen and he came back, the old dean did not blame him at all when he saw his appearance, but pulled him to his room to gently medicate him, and told him to take good care of his body in the future.
From the old dean, Yang Zhong experienced a trace of human warmth. But a fire took everything. Including the old dean who medicated him.
When he was fourteen years old, a strange fire burned all over the orphanage, and Yang Zhong still remembers the night of that year, the cries and noises echoed in waves. He desperately walked outside, finally breaking out of the flames, and looking back, the home where he had lived for fourteen years was gradually devoured by an orange beast.
This strange fire swallowed up the only remaining hope in Yang's heart.
...
"Yang Chong. Yang Zhong. ”
A gentle cry sounded in Yang Chong's dream, and Yang Chong opened his eyes violently, and a person who stepped forward to grab the person in front of him.
When he looked closely, he saw Shi Qiu looking at him with a hint of horror in his eyes, and one of his hands was still locked in Shi Qiu's throat. At this time, as long as he exerted a little force, Shi Qiu's throat bone would be shattered immediately.
Seeing Shi Qiu's appearance clearly, Yang Chong hurriedly let go of his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, why did you come in suddenly." Is there something going on?"
"Ahem, ahem!"
After Shi Qiu was let go by Yang Chong, he held his hand on his chest and coughed loudly. Seeing Shi Qiu's appearance, the guilt on Yang Chong's face deepened.
"I'm here to get you out. Didn't you promise Qingqing to go to the party with her? It's dark now. It's almost time. Shi Qiu coughed for a while, and his face was a little better. Only then did he take a deep breath and said.
Looking at the clock hanging on the wall, Yang Chong said a little embarrassed: "I was a little tired in the past two days, and I forgot to sleep too well." Then he asked with some guilt: "I didn't mean it just now, are you better?" ”
"It's okay, it's my own fault. I just called you a few times outside the door and found that you didn't respond. I saw that the door of your room was unlocked and came in by myself, you just ...... Having a nightmare?"
"Hmm...... Huh?" Yang Zhong reflexively groaned, came back to his senses and asked in surprise, "How do you know?"
"When I came in just now, I found you curled up on the bed, your eyelids trembling slightly. Thought you weren't feeling well. Did something happen?"
"Nothing. Let's go, I'll go out and wash up. Go outside and wait for me. Yang Zhong said perfunctorily, and went out to wash.
Seeing Yang Chong go out, Shi Qiu was just about to go out, when he suddenly saw a tear stain on Yang Chong's pillow. Thinking of Yang Chong's curled up appearance when she just entered the door, Shi Qiudai's eyebrows furrowed slightly. From a psychological point of view, this is a sign of extreme insecurity.
Shi Qiu didn't understand why a man with such good skills would unconsciously show such helplessness. Shi Qiu was very sure that if it was not himself who had just come in but a stranger, then the stranger would probably have fallen to the ground and lost his breath. What has this man been through?
...
Ten minutes later, Yang Zhong put on the close-fitting suit that Zhao Qingqing had chosen for him last time and came to the door.
There was already a black business sedan parked outside the door, and as soon as Yang Chonggang came out, the co-pilot's window slowly rolled down, revealing Zhao Xiangyang's face.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? You look bad. ”
"No, I slept well. It may not have recovered yet, and it is not a big problem. ”
As he spoke, he opened the car door, and Zhao Qingqing and Shi Qiu were already dressed up and sitting in the back seat. Zheng Fang sat in the driver's seat and smiled at him when he saw Yang Chong come in.
"Come on, what are you waiting for? You're just one of them. Zhao Qingqing said angrily to Yang Chong.
Originally, she was dressed up beautifully and was going to ask Yang to focus on it, but he fell asleep. She still slept like a dead pig, and she couldn't wake up no matter how she screamed, and just now she learned from Zhao Xiangyang that the person named Yang Rulong also went to this banquet.
Then Yang Chong clearly didn't turn down his friend's invitation specifically for her, which made Zhao Qingqing's heart very unbalanced.
"What do you think of this party? Zhao Xiangyang sat on top of the co-pilot, turned back to Yang Zhong and asked.
"I can't see through it. Yang Zhong replied lightly.
"Can't see through?"
"It's really incomprehensible. Maybe I didn't do it, and the other party made it clear that he was a figure on the side of the Jin family. But I invited you Uncle Zhao to this private party. I don't understand what they want to do. ”
"Is there a possibility that they are not yet firm in their position? I would like to take this opportunity to find out the difference between us and the Jin family, and then make a plan. ”
"No way. ”
Yang Chong analyzed the relationship between the Shan family and Yang Rulong a little and told Zhao Xiangyang.
After listening to this, Zhao Xiangyang said with a wry smile: "Indeed, as you said, Yang Rulong has already sent someone to negotiate with us Yangqing. The other party is very willing to cooperate, and I was very happy, thinking that I could take this opportunity to resolve the current crisis in Yangqing. I didn't expect the level of involvement to be so big. ”
"When you get there, everything comes to a conclusion. ”
